No, that is infact incorrect, please refer to the wiki for correct 
instructions.

They are your instructions...
Not mine...

Anyway, not to stop you from writing documentation, but why rewrite stuff 
if it is clearly documented on the orca wiki?
And your instructions aren't really correct, look at the ones on the wiki 
and make small changes if required, but the main idea there is correct.
I don't know what your talking about running orca in root mode or 
whatever, that is not at all required.

An edit of /root/.orbitrc, and /etc/sudoers is enough.
Then
sudo admintool
will work...
Also why use an editor to write to orbitrc? What is wrong with the cat 
method on the wiki?
